no later than within three (3) days of receipt if after the first of the
                                     calendar month.

                     If the implementation of new monthly contract pricing for Products would result in a total
                     sum financial gain or loss by Distributor of at least $1,500 due to inventory revaluation (for
                     any Distributor D.C.) over a calendar year, then CSCS shall provide a means for Distributor
                     to avoid, be reimbursed for, or pay to CSCS the amount of any such gain or loss on Products,
                     provided that the Distributor notifies CSCS of the potential gain or loss proactively such that
                     holding the price to sell through existing inventory is a generally viable resolution.  In no
                     case shall Distributor be required to re-invoice or issue credits to individual Operators or
                     Restaurants as a means of resolving such gains or losses.  The parties shall cooperate in good
                     faith and in a commercially reasonable manner to achieve these mutual goals.

                              14.4  Fuel Surcharge
                     If Distributor’s operating costs are impacted as a direct result of fuel cost fluctuations,
                     Distributor may implement a fuel adjustment to the Distribution Fee (a “Fuel Surcharge”),
                     except no Fuel Surcharge may be implemented where nationally delivered pricing has been
                     negotiated directly with the manufacturer.  The base fuel cost range and fuel adjustment per
                     case are detailed in Exhibit E.  As prices increase or decrease, the fuel cost adjustment will
                     move accordingly.  Distributor will calculate this adjustment on a calendar month basis and
                                                                     th
                     report to Operator and CSCS by the twentieth (20 ) of the month. The adjusted fuel
                     surcharge will be calculated based on the published fuel price of the month previous to the
                     reporting date.  The adjusted fuel surcharge and Distribution Fee will be effective on the
                     strike price date of the month following the calculation.  The calculation for determining
                     the fuel adjustment will be based on the Petroleum Marketing Monthly publication for the
                     two months previous to the start date of the new adjusted service charge, compiled by the
                     Energy Information Administration, Retail On-highway Diesel Prices.  The website to

               15.0  FREIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

                              15.1 Program Participation.
                     Distributor agrees to participate in CSCS’ collaborative Freight Management
                     Program.  Specifically, Distributor agrees to the logistics program principles set forth in
                     this Section 15.  CSCS reserves the right to amend or cancel the Freight Management
                     Program at any time upon 30 days’ written notice to Distributor.

                              15.2 Right of First Refusal.
                     Distributor has the right of first refusal to move all lanes using their own assets for
                     backhaul within a 500 mile radius of the Distribution Center.  The Freight Manager has the
                     right of first refusal to manage and optimize all other inbound freight lanes for Approved
                     Product.

                              15.3 Designation of Lanes In The Freight Management Program.
                     Once a year, on April 1, Distributor can target a lane for backhaul from the lanes that are
